NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(Dollar amounts in thousands unless otherwise stated)


1.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Rayonier Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Rayonier” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, these financial statements and notes reflect all adjustments (all of which are normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. These statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and supplementary data included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as filed with the SEC.

Reclassifications

Certain 2012 amounts have been reclassified to agree with the current year presentation. See Note 2 — Sale of Wood Products Business for information regarding reclassifications for discontinued operations.

New Accounting Standards

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The standard requires enhanced disclosures about assets and liabilities that are subject to a master netting agreement or when the right of offset exists. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This pronouncement limits the scope of ASU No. 2011-1. The standards’ disclosure requirements are retrospective and were effective beginning in first quarter 2013. See Note 9 — Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities for the disclosures required under this guidance.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This standard requires reporting, in one place, information about reclassifications out of AOCI by component. An entity is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount is reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified to net income in their entirety, an entity is required to cross-reference to other currently required disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. The information required by this standard must be presented in one place, either parenthetically on the face of the financial statements by income statement line item or in a note. See Note 17 — Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss for the disclosures required under this guidance.

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity. This standard requires a parent entity to release a related foreign entity’s cumulative translation adjustment into net income only if its sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. The cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income if the transaction results in the loss of a controlling financial interest in a foreign entity or results in an acquirer obtaining control of an acquiree in which it held an equity interest immediately before the acquisition date. ASU No. 2013-05 will be effective for first quarter 2014. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date but before financial statements were issued, and one subsequent event was identified that warranted disclosure. See Note 16 — Debt for additional information.

2.	SALE OF WOOD PRODUCTS BUSINESS

On March 1, 2013, Rayonier completed the sale of its Wood Products business (consisting of three lumber mills in Baxley, Swainsboro and Eatonton, Georgia) to International Forest Products Limited (“Interfor”) for $80 million plus a working capital adjustment. The sale is consistent with the Company’s strategic plan to fully position its manufacturing operations in the specialty chemicals sector. Rayonier will not have significant continuing involvement in the operations of the Wood Products business. Accordingly, the operating results of the Wood Products business, formerly reported as a separate operating segment, are classified as discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for all periods presented. Certain administrative and general costs historically allocated to the Wood Products segment, which will remain with the Company after the sale, are reported in continuing operations.

Rayonier recognized an after-tax gain of $42.7 million on the sale. The gain is included in “Income from discontinued operations, net” on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The following table summarizes the operating results of the Company’s discontinued operations and the related gain for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, as presented in “Income from discontinued operations, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income:



	Three Months Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013		2012			2013			2012
Sales	$	—	$	22,825		$	16,968		$	65,865
Cost of sales and other	—		(20,897		)	(14,258		)	(58,184		)
Gain on sale of discontinued operations	—		—			64,040			—
Income from discontinued operations before income taxes	—		1,928			66,750			7,681
Income tax expense	—		(646		)	(22,273		)	(2,573		)
Income from discontinued operations, net	$	—	$	1,282		$	44,477		$	5,108

The sale did not meet the “held for sale” criteria prior to the period it was completed. The major classes of Wood Products assets and liabilities included in the sale were as follows:



	March 1, 2013
Accounts receivable, net	$	4,127
Inventory	4,270
Prepaid and other current assets	2,053
Property, plant and equipment, net	9,990
Total assets	$	20,440

Total liabilities	$	596

Cash flows from discontinued operations are immaterial both individually and in the aggregate. As such, they are included with cash flows from continuing operations in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement, Rayonier will provide Interfor with saw timber procurement services for the three lumber mills through December 31, 2013. Rayonier also contracted with Interfor to purchase wood chips produced at the lumber mills for use at Rayonier’s Jesup mill and market other wood chips produced by the mills to third parties on Interfor’s behalf. The Company will purchase 100 percent of the Baxley mill chips for five years and 25 percent of the Swainsboro mill chips through 2013. The purchase price of these chips will be based on the average price paid by the Company to unrelated third parties.

(a) The Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2012 (the “2012 Notes”) matured in October 2012 and $31.5 million of the Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2015 (the “2015 Notes”) were redeemed by the noteholders in September 2013; however, no additional shares were issued due to offsetting exchangeable note hedges. Similarly, Rayonier will not issue additional shares upon future exchange or maturity of the 2015 Notes due to offsetting hedges. Accounting Standards Codification 260, Earnings Per Share requires the assumed conversion of the Notes to be included in dilutive shares if the average stock price for the period exceeds the strike prices, while the assumed conversion of the hedges is excluded since they are anti-dilutive. As such, the dilutive effect of the assumed conversion of the 2012 Notes was included for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. The full dilutive effect of the 2015 Notes was included for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, while only a proportional amount based on the length of time the $31.5 million balance was outstanding before the exchange was included for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The warrants sold in conjunction with the 2012 Notes began maturing on January 15, 2013 and matured ratably through March 27, 2013. As a result, 2,037,303 shares were issued through the end of the first quarter and 97,918 shares were issued in the first week of April. The dilutive impact of these warrants was calculated based on the length of time they were outstanding before settlement. Rayonier will distribute additional shares upon maturity of the warrants associated with the 2015 Notes if the stock price exceeds $39.24 per share. For further information, see Note 11 — Debt in the 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 16 — Debt of this Form 10-Q.

(b) The higher shares used for the assumed conversion of the warrants associated with the 2012 Notes in the first nine months of 2013 were primarily due to an increase in the average stock price from $45.65 in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $56.42, partially offset by a decrease in dilutive shares due to the maturity of the warrants. The shares used for the assumed conversion of the warrants decreased in the third quarter of 2013 as there was no dilutive impact from the warrants on the 2012 Notes.


4.	INCOME TAXES

Rayonier is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”). In general, only its taxable REIT subsidiaries, whose businesses include the Company’s non-REIT qualified activities and foreign operations, are subject to corporate income taxes. However, the Company was subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on built-in gains (the excess of fair market value over tax basis for property held upon REIT election at January 1, 2004) on taxable sales of such property during calendar years 2004 through 2010. Accordingly, the provision for corporate income taxes relates principally to current and deferred taxes on taxable REIT subsidiaries’ income and foreign operations.

Alternative Fuel Mixture Credit (“AFMC”) and Cellulosic Biofuel Producer Credit (“CBPC”)

The U.S. Internal Revenue Code allowed two credits for taxpayers that produced and used an alternative fuel in the operation of their business through December 31, 2009. The AFMC is a $.50 per gallon refundable tax credit (which is not taxable), while the CBPC is a $1.01 per gallon credit that is nonrefundable, taxable and has limitations based on an entity’s tax liability. Rayonier produces and uses an alternative fuel (“black liquor”) at its Jesup, Georgia and Fernandina Beach, Florida performance fibers mills, which qualified for both credits. The Company claimed the AFMC on its original 2009 tax return.

In the first quarter of 2013 management approved the exchange of approximately 120 million gallons of black liquor for the CBPC previously claimed for the AFMC, resulting in a $18.8 million tax benefit. In the third quarter 2012, management approved the exchange of approximately 22 million gallons, bringing the total number of exchange gallons approved year-to date to 82 million for 2012. The impact of the exchanges in 2012 was $2.6 million and $11.7 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively. Third quarter 2012 results also reflect the reversal of a $3.4 million interest expense accrual based on IRS guidance stating interest payments are not required for AFMC exchanged for the CBPC, based upon the manner of the Company's original claim. For additional information on the AFMC and CBPC, see Note 8 — Income Taxes in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report.

Provision for Income Taxes from Continuing Operations

The Company’s effective tax rate is below the 35 percent U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to tax benefits associated with being a REIT. The Company’s effective tax rate in 2013 was lower than 2012 primarily due to recording the additional AFMC exchange, the federal research and experimentation tax credit and a $4.9 million benefit associated with the completion of an internal transfer of properties.

The table below reconciles the U.S. statutory rate to the Company’s effective tax rate for each period presented (in millions of dollars):

Provision for Income Taxes from Discontinued Operations

In the first quarter, Rayonier completed the sale of its Wood Products business for $80 million plus a working capital adjustment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, income tax expense related to discontinued operations was $22.3 million ($21.4 million from the gain on sale) and $2.6 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, income tax related to discontinued operations was $0.6 million. See Note 2 — Sale of Wood Products Business for additional information.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company recognizes the impact of a tax position if a position is “more likely than not” to prevail. During third quarter 2013, the Company filed an amended 2009 federal income tax return reflecting an increased domestic production deduction due to the inclusion of the CBPC income. As required, the Company recorded a $4.8 million liability related to this uncertain tax position.


5.	RESTRICTED DEPOSITS

In order to qualify for like-kind exchange (“LKE”) treatment, the proceeds from real estate sales must be deposited with a third-party intermediary. These proceeds are accounted for as restricted cash until a suitable replacement property is acquired. In the event LKE purchases are not completed, the proceeds are returned to the Company after 180 days and reclassified as available cash. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $6.6 million and $10.6 million, respectively, of proceeds from real estate sales classified as restricted cash in Other Assets, which were deposited with an LKE intermediary.

6.	JOINT VENTURE INVESTMENT

On April 4, 2013 (the “acquisition date”), the Company acquired an additional 39 percent ownership interest in Matariki Forestry Group, a joint venture (“New Zealand JV”) that owns or leases approximately 0.3 million acres of New Zealand timberlands. As a result of the acquisition, Rayonier is a 65 percent owner of the New Zealand JV and 100 percent of the results of its operations subsequent to April 4, 2013 have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, along with 100 percent of the JV’s assets and liabilities at September 30, 2013. The portions of the consolidated financial position and results of operations attributable to the JV’s 35 percent noncontrolling interest are also shown separately. Rayonier New Zealand Limited (“RNZ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rayonier Inc., continues to serve as the manager of the New Zealand JV forests and operates a log trading business.

The purchase price of the additional interest in the New Zealand JV was $139.9 million, which included $3.3 million of contingent consideration and was financed through our term credit agreement. As the purchase price was in New Zealand dollars, the Company purchased foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate foreign currency risk on the purchase price. As a result, the Company recorded a benefit of $1.7 million and received that amount upon maturity of the contracts on April 2, 2013.

The contingent consideration arrangement required the Company to pay additional consideration to the New Zealand JV’s selling (former) shareholders equal to a multiple of the increase in log prices for a six month period beginning in November 2012. We estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement at the acquisition date to be $3.3 million. Fair value was determined using an average of the cost and freight (CFR) selling price of China A-grade 3.8 meter logs. In the second quarter of 2013, the contingent consideration was determined and paid in the amount of $3.3 million.

Prior to the acquisition date, the Company accounted for its 26 percent interest in the New Zealand JV as an equity method investment. The additional 39 percent interest acquired resulted in the Company obtaining a controlling financial interest in the New Zealand JV and accordingly, the purchase was accounted for as a step-acquisition. Upon consolidation, the Company recognized a $10.1 million deferred gain, which resulted from the original sale of its New Zealand operations to the joint venture in 2005 and a $6 million benefit due to the required fair market value remeasurement of the Company’s equity interest in the New Zealand JV held before the purchase of the additional interest. Both gains are included in the line item “Gain related to consolidation of New Zealand joint venture” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The acquisition-date fair value of the previous equity interest was $93.3 million.

We have applied estimates and judgments in order to determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. In determining fair value we utilized valuation methodologies including discounted cash flow analysis. The assumptions made in performing these valuations include assumptions as to discount rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity prices. Any significant change in key assumptions may cause the acquisition accounting to be revised.

8.	SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

Rayonier operates in three reportable business segments: Forest Resources, Real Estate and Performance Fibers. Prior to the first quarter of 2013, the Company operated in four reportable business segments, which included Wood Products. In March 2013, the Company sold its Wood Products business and its operations are shown as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 2 — Sale of Wood Products Business for additional information. On April 4, 2013, Rayonier acquired an additional 39 percent interest in the New Zealand JV, bringing its total ownership to 65 percent. As a result, 100 percent of the New Zealand JV’s results of operations have been consolidated and included within the Forest Resources segment since April 4, when the Company acquired control of the entity. Accordingly, the New Zealand JV’s assets and liabilities are fully consolidated at September 30, 2013. See Note 6 — Joint Venture Investment for further information regarding the Company’s joint venture.

Forest Resources sales include all activities related to the harvesting of timber. Real Estate sales include all property sales, including those designated for higher and better use (“HBU”). The assets of the Real Estate segment include HBU property held by the Company’s real estate subsidiary, TerraPointe LLC.

The Performance Fibers segment included two major product lines, cellulose specialties and absorbent materials. Beginning in the third quarter of 2013 and in conjunction with the completion of the cellulose specialties expansion (“CSE”) project, the Company’s Jesup mill discontinued producing absorbent material and began producing commodity viscose during the multi-year transition to higher cellulose specialties volume. Commodity viscose is a dissolving wood pulp used primarily in the manufacture of textiles. Commodity Viscose/Other includes commodity viscose and off-grade.

The Company’s remaining operations include harvesting and selling timber acquired from third parties (log trading). These operations are reported in “Other Operations.” Sales between operating segments are made based on estimated fair market value, and intercompany sales, purchases and profits (losses) are eliminated in consolidation. The Company evaluates financial performance based on the operating income of the segments.

Operating income (loss) as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income is equal to segment income (loss). Certain income (loss) items in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income are not allocated to segments. These items, which include gains (losses) from certain asset dispositions, interest income (expense), miscellaneous income (expense) and income tax (expense) benefit, are not considered by management to be part of segment operations.

Total assets, sales, operating income (loss) and depreciation, depletion and amortization by segment including Corporate were as follows:

9.	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company is exposed to market risk related to potential fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and fuel prices. The Company’s New Zealand JV uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate the financial impact of exposure to these risks.

Accounting for derivative financial instruments is governed by ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, (“ASC 815”). In accordance with ASC 815, the Company records its derivative instruments at fair value as either assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the instruments’ fair value are accounted for based on their intended use. Gains and losses on derivatives that are designated and qualify for cash flow hedge accounting are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction materializes. The ineffective portion of any hedge as well as changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments and those which are no longer effective as hedging instruments, are recognized immediately in earnings.

Foreign Currency Exchange and Option Contracts

The functional currency of the Company’s New Zealand-based operations and New Zealand JV is the New Zealand dollar. These operations are exposed to foreign currency risk on export sales and ocean freight payments which are predominately denominated in US dollars. The Company typically hedges at least 70 percent of its estimated foreign currency exposure with respect to the following three months forecasted sales and purchases and 50 percent of the forward twelve months.

The fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts is determined by a mark-to-market valuation which estimates fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate. The fair value of foreign currency option contracts is based on a mark-to-market calculation using the Black Scholes option pricing model.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage the New Zealand JV’s exposure to interest rate movements on its variable rate debt attributable to changes in the New Zealand Bank bill rate. By converting a portion of these borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates the Company has reduced the impact of interest rate changes on its expected future cash outflows. As of September 30, 2013, the Company’s interest rate contracts had maturity dates through January 2020.

(Dollar amounts in thousands unless otherwise stated)

Fuel Hedge Contracts

The Company uses fuel swap contracts to manage its New Zealand JV’s exposure to changes in New Zealand’s domestic diesel prices. The fuel swaps are quoted by domestic banks in New Zealand dollar price terms. As of September 30, 2013 all of the contracts had maturities of less than one year. The fair value of the fuel swap contracts is determined by a mark-to-market valuation which estimates fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract.

The following table demonstrates the impact of the Company’s derivatives on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013:



		September 30, 2013
	Income Statement Location	Three Months Ended			Nine Months Ended
Derivatives designated as cash flow hedges:
Foreign currency exchange contracts	Other comprehensive income (loss)	$	2,602		$	1,093
	Other operating income (expense)	(619		)	(619		)
Foreign currency option contracts	Other comprehensive income (loss)	832			468

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments:
Foreign currency exchange contracts	Other operating income (expense)	360			1,786
Foreign currency option contracts	Other operating income (expense)	480			(1,011		)
Interest rate swaps	Interest and other miscellaneous income	2,079			4,729
Fuel hedges	Cost of sales - benefit	(162		)	(14		)

During the next 12 months, the amount of the September 30, 2013 AOCI balance, net of tax, expected to be reclassified into earnings as a result of the maturation of the Company’s derivative instruments is a loss of approximately $1.5 million.

The following table contains the notional amounts of the derivative financial instruments recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2013:



	September 30, 2013
	Notional Amount (a)
Derivatives designated as cash flow hedges:
Foreign currency exchange contracts	$	23,500
Foreign currency option contracts	32,000

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments:

10.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Accounting Standards Codification established a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The following table presents the carrying amount, estimated fair values and categorization under the fair value hierarchy of financial instruments held by the Company at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, using market information and what management believes to be appropriate valuation methodologies under generally accepted accounting principles:



	September 30, 2013									December 31, 2012
Asset (liability)	Carrying Amount			Fair Value						Carrying Amount			Fair Value
				Level 1		Level 2							Level 1		Level 2
Cash and cash equivalents	$	260,738		$	260,738	$	—			$	280,596		$	280,596	$	—
Restricted cash (a)	6,569			6,569		—				10,559			10,559		—
Current maturities of long-term debt	(10,000		)	—		(16,900		)	(b)	(150,000		)	—		(150,000		)
Long-term debt	(1,646,337		)	—		(1,739,813		)		(1,120,052		)	—		(1,250,341		)
Interest rate swaps (c)	(7,113		)	—		(7,113		)		—			—		—
Foreign currency exchange contracts (c)	1,296			—		1,296				—			—		—
Foreign currency option contracts (c)	613			—		613				—			—		—
Fuel contracts (c)	(109		)	—		(109		)		—			—		—


(a)	Restricted cash is recorded in “Other Assets” and represents the proceeds from LKE sales deposited with a third-party intermediary.


(b)	The fair market value of current maturities of long-term-term debt represents the value of the debt and equity associated with the early redemption of a portion of the Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2015. The Company has a hedge agreement that offsets the $6.9 million equity portion of the current maturity. See Note 16 — Debt for more information regarding the exchange of the notes.


(c)	See Note 9 — Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities for information regarding the Balance Sheet classification of the Company’s derivative financial instruments.

Rayonier uses the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents and Restricted cash — The carrying amount is equal to fair market value.

Debt — The fair value of fixed rate debt is based upon quoted market prices for debt with similar terms and maturities. The variable rate debt adjusts with changes in the market rate, therefore the carrying value approximates fair value.

Interest rate swap agreements — The fair value of interest rate contracts is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows, for each instrument, at prevailing interest rates.

Foreign currency exchange contracts — The fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts is determined by a mark-to-market valuation which estimates fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate.

Foreign currency option contracts — The fair value of foreign currency option contracts is based on a mark-to-market calculation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Fuel contracts — The fair value of diesel fuel contracts is determined by a mark-to-market valuation which estimates fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract.

11.	GUARANTEES

The Company provides financial guarantees as required by creditors, insurance programs, and various governmental agencies. As of September 30, 2013, the following financial guarantees were outstanding:



Financial Commitments	Maximum Potential Payment		Carrying Amount of Liability
Standby letters of credit (a)	$	18,205	$	15,000
Guarantees (b)	2,254		43
Surety bonds (c)	7,328		1,151
Total financial commitments	$	27,787	$	16,194


(a)	Approximately $15 million of the standby letters of credit serve as credit support for industrial revenue bonds. The remaining letters of credit support various insurance related agreements, primarily workers’ compensation and pollution liability policy requirements. These letters of credit will expire at various dates during 2013 and 2014 and will be renewed as required.

(b)

In conjunction with a timberland sale and note monetization in the first quarter of 2004, the Company issued a make-whole agreement pursuant to which it guaranteed $2.3 million of obligations of a special-purpose entity that was established to complete the monetization. At September 30, 2013, the Company has a de minimus liability to reflect the fair market value of its obligation to perform under the make-whole agreement.


(c)	Rayonier issues surety bonds primarily to secure timber harvesting obligations in the State of Washington and to provide collateral for the Company’s workers’ compensation self-insurance program in that state. These surety bonds expire at various dates during 2014 and are expected to be renewed as required.


12.	COMMITMENTS

As disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Rayonier leases certain buildings, machinery and equipment under various operating leases. Rayonier’s commitments have changed primarily due to the acquisition of a controlling interest in the New Zealand JV and sale of the Wood Products business. The following table shows the increase in the Company’s commitments, as of September 30, 2013:



	Forestry Rights (a)		Forest Leases (b)		Operating Leases (c)		Purchase Obligations (d)
Remaining 2013	$	474	$	290	$	315	2,088
2014	1,639		1,153		883		8,645
2015	1,639		1,153		612		8,345
2016	1,639		1,153		1,632		9,577
2017	1,639		1,153		2,410		8,597
Thereafter	42,642		57,799		17,789		6,005
	$	49,672	$	62,701	$	23,641	$	43,257

(a) Forestry rights grant access to the leased land for the purpose of harvesting. The majority of the New Zealand JV’s forestry rights terminate with the harvest of the land’s existing crop and require the land to be left in the cut condition upon termination.

(b) Forest leases have an average term between 30 and 99 years. Annual rent is indexed to the Consumer Price Index or current market values. A number of these leases require the land to be returned in a fully stocked condition (replanted).

(c) Operating leases include New Zealand leases on buildings, machinery and equipment under various operating leases and a Jesup mill natural gas transportation lease.


(d)	Pursuant to the Wood Products purchase and sale agreement, Rayonier contracted with Interfor to purchase wood chips produced at the lumber mills for use at Rayonier’s Jesup mill. Purchase obligations include obligations under this agreement as well as payments expected to be made on derivative financial instruments held in New Zealand.

The New Zealand JV has a number of Crown Forest Licenses (“CFL”) with the New Zealand government, which are excluded from the table above. The leases extend indefinitely and may only be terminated upon a 35 year termination notice from the government. If no termination notice is given, the leases renew automatically each year for a one year term. As of September 30, 2013, the New Zealand JV has three CFL’s under termination notice, with one terminating in 2034 and the remaining two expiring in 2062. The annual license fee is determined based on current market value, with three yearly rent reviews. The total annual license fee on the CFL’s is $2.7 million per year.

13.	LIABILITIES FOR DISPOSITIONS AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

An analysis of the liabilities for dispositions and discontinued operations follows:



	September 30,			December 31,
	2013			2012
Balance, beginning of period	$	81,695		$	90,824
Expenditures charged to liabilities	(6,411		)	(9,926		)
Increase to liabilities	287			797
Balance, end of period	75,571			81,695
Less: Current portion	(8,446		)	(8,105		)
Non-current portion	$	67,125		$	73,590

The Company is exposed to the risk of reasonably possible additional losses in excess of the established liabilities. As of September 30, 2013, this amount could range up to $29 million, attributable to several of the applicable sites, and arises from uncertainty over the availability, feasibility and effectiveness of certain remediation technologies, additional or different contamination that may be discovered, development of new or more effective environmental remediation technologies, potential changes in applicable law and regulations, and the exercise of discretion in interpretation of applicable law and regulations by governmental agencies.

The Company believes established liabilities are sufficient for probable costs expected to be incurred over the next 20 years with respect to its dispositions and discontinued operations. Remedial actions for these sites vary, but include on-site (and in certain cases off-site) removal or treatment of contaminated soils and sediments, recovery and treatment/remediation of groundwater, and source remediation and/or control.


14.	CONTINGENCIES

Rayonier is engaged in various legal actions, including certain environmental proceedings, and has been named as a defendant in various other lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business. While the Company has procured reasonable and customary insurance covering risks normally occurring in connection with its businesses, it has in certain cases retained some risk through the operation of self-insurance, primarily in the areas of workers’ compensation, property insurance and general liability. These other lawsuits and claims, either individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.


15.	EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company has four qualified non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering a significant majority of its employees and an unfunded plan that provides benefits in excess of amounts allowable under current tax law in the qualified plans. Currently, all qualified plans are closed to new participants. Employee benefit plan liabilities are calculated using actuarial estimates and management assumptions. These estimates are based on historical information, along with certain assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions, as well as changes in actual experience, could cause the estimates to change.

The net pension and postretirement benefit costs that have been recorded are shown in the following tables:



	Pension						Postretirement
	Three Months Ended September 30,						Three Months Ended September 30,
	2013			2012			2013		2012
Components of Net Periodic Benefit Cost
Service cost	$	2,011		$	2,102		$	330	$	227
Interest cost	3,953			4,321			231		242

Amortization of prior service cost	322			327			6		6
Amortization of losses	4,792			4,394			98		156

In 2013, the Company has no mandatory pension contribution requirements and does not expect to make any discretionary contributions.


16.	DEBT

The warrants sold in conjunction with the issuance of the 3.75% Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2012 began maturing on January 15, 2013 and continued to mature through March 27, 2013. In first and second quarter 2013, 8,313,511 of warrants were settled, resulting in the issuance of 2,135,221 Rayonier common shares.

As of June 30, 2013, the $172.5 million 4.50% Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2015 became exchangeable at the option of the holders for the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2013. According to the indenture, in order for the notes to become exchangeable, the Company’s stock price must exceed 130 percent of the exchange price for 20 trading days during a period of 30 consecutive trading days as of the last day of the quarter. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, three groups of note holders elected to exercise their right to redeem $41.5 million of the notes. As of September 30, 2013, two redemptions in the amount of $31.5 million have settled. The third redemption of $10 million was settled on October 3, 2013 and classified as short-term debt at September 30, 2013. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments [Debt], the fair value of the debt prior to redemption was compared to its carrying amount and the difference expensed, along with unamortized discount and issuance costs. As a result, Rayonier recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $3 million in the third quarter.

Based upon the average stock price for the 30 trading days ended September 30, 2013, these notes again became exchangeable at the option of the holder for the calendar quarter ending December 31, 2013. The remaining balance of the notes is classified as long-term debt at September 30, 2013 due to the ability and intent of the Company to refinance them on a long-term basis.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company had no net activity on its $450 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company had $172 million of available borrowings under this facility at September 30, 2013, net of $3 million to secure its outstanding letters of credit. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company borrowed an additional $200 million on the term credit agreement for general corporate purposes. Additional draws totaling $140 million remain available on the term credit agreement.

Joint Venture Debt

On April 4, 2013, Rayonier acquired an additional 39 percent interest in its New Zealand JV, bringing its total ownership to 65 percent and as a result, the New Zealand JV’s debt was consolidated effective on that date. See Note 6 — Joint Venture Investment for further information.

The New Zealand JV’s debt consisted of the following at September 30, 2013:



	September 30, 2013
Senior Secured Facilities Agreement
Revolving Credit Facility due 2016 at variable interest rate of 4.39%	$	194,533
Working Capital Facility due 2014	—

Noncontrolling interest shareholder loan at a 0% interest rate	31,717

Total debt	226,250
Less: Current maturities of long-term debt	—
Long-term debt	$	226,250

Senior Secured Facilities Agreement

The New Zealand JV is party to a $214 million variable rate Senior Secured Facilities Agreement comprised of two tranches. Tranche A, a $195 million revolving cash advance facility expires September 2016 and Tranche B, a $19 million working capital facility expires July 2014. Although the maximum amounts available under the agreement are denominated in New Zealand dollars, advances on Tranche A are also available in U.S. dollars. This agreement is secured by a Security Trust Deed that provides recourse only to the New Zealand JV’s assets; there is no recourse to Rayonier Inc. or any of its subsidiaries.

Revolving Credit Facility

As of September 30, 2013 the Senior Secured Facilities Agreement had $195 million outstanding on Tranche A at 4.39 percent due September 2016. The interest rate is indexed to the 90 day New Zealand Bank bill rate and is generally repriced quarterly. The margin on the index rate fluctuates based on the interest coverage ratio. The New Zealand JV manages these rates through interest rate swaps, as discussed at Note 9 — Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities.

Working Capital Facility

The $19 million Working Capital Facility is available for short-term operating cash flow needs of the New Zealand JV. This facility holds a variable interest rate indexed to the Official Cash Rate set by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand. The margin ranges from 1.17 percent to 1.44 percent based on the interest coverage ratio and the length of time each borrowing is outstanding. At September 30, 2013, there was no outstanding balance on the Working Capital Facility.

Shareholder Loan

The shareholder loan is an interest-free loan from the noncontrolling New Zealand JV interest in the amount of $32 million. This loan represents part of the noncontrolling party’s investment in the New Zealand JV. The loan is secured by timberlands owned by the New Zealand JV and is subordinated to the Senior Secured Facilities Agreement. Although Rayonier Inc. is not liable for this loan, the shareholder loan instrument contains features with characteristics of both debt and equity and is therefore required to be classified as debt and consolidated. As the loan is effectively at call, the carrying amount is deemed to be the fair value. The entire balance of the shareholder loan remained classified as long-term debt at September 30, 2013 due to the ability and intent of the Company to refinance it on a long-term basis.

Debt Covenants

In connection with the New Zealand JV’s Senior Secured Facilities Agreement, covenants must be met, including generation of sufficient cash flows to meet a minimum interest coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1 on a quarterly basis and maintenance of a leverage ratio of bank debt versus the forest and land valuation below the covenant's maximum ratio of 40 percent. At September 30, 2013, the New Zealand JV was in compliance with all its covenants.

There were no other significant changes to the Company’s outstanding debt as reported in Note 11 — Debt in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Executive Overview

Recent Developments

In July 2013, we completed the cellulose specialties expansion (“CSE”) project for a total cost of $388 million. This project converted approximately 260,000 tons of absorbent materials capacity, primarily fluff fibers, into approximately 190,000 tons of cellulose specialties capacity. In the third quarter, we restarted the converted production line and began the qualification process for the line's cellulose specialties production with our customers. During this phase-in period, we expect to produce cellulose specialties, commodity viscose and other products with the additional production capacity. Over time, we expect to increase our sales into the cellulose specialties markets as market demand increases, while exiting the commodity viscose business.

Industry and Market Conditions

From 2008 through most of 2012, the cellulose specialties market was very tight, as demand steadily increased while very little new supply was added. This tightness was evident in 2010, prompting our customers to request we add capacity to support their growth plans.

However, in early 2013, certain end markets (particularly in Europe) such as tire cord and construction ethers weakened, and competitors began trying to place volumes into stronger end markets such as acetate tow. Additionally, commodity viscose prices remain low which provides incentive for swing producers to attempt to increase volumes into cellulose specialties. Finally, additional cellulose specialties capacity is impacting the market.

We are currently negotiating 2014 prices with our customers. Because of the market conditions noted above, our negotiations with some customers have been more difficult than in previous years. Additionally, we are negotiating a new agreement with a customer whose existing multi-year agreement expires at the end of 2013. This customer’s volume in 2013 was approximately 75,000 tons of cellulose specialties. Although this customer indicated its intention to enter into a new multi-year agreement with 2014 volumes of 50,000 tons, we have been unable to reach agreement on a final contract to date. If we are unable to reach agreement, or can only reach agreement on lower volumes, our 2014 operating results would likely be adversely affected.

As a result of these recent market changes, it is possible that our 2014 incremental cellulose specialties volume may only be approximately 25,000 – 40,000 tons versus the prior estimate of 90,000 tons. The remainder of our 2014 production would be commodity viscose/other. Additionally, we are now planning to extend our scheduled 2014 maintenance outage to perform boiler

maintenance previously scheduled for 2015. This would reduce 2014 production by about 30,000 tons, further impacting 2014 results, but providing the ability to produce more cellulose specialties in 2015.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates and assumptions on historical data and trends, current fact patterns, expectations and other sources of information we believe are reasonable. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Derivatives and Hedging

We use derivatives to manage a variety of risks, including risks related to interest rates, foreign exchange and commodity prices. Accounting for derivatives as hedges requires that, at inception and over the term of the arrangement, the hedged item and related derivative meet the requirements for hedge accounting. The rules and interpretations related to derivatives accounting are complex. Failure to apply this complex guidance correctly may result in volatility in reported earnings.

In evaluating whether a particular relationship qualifies for hedge accounting, we test effectiveness at inception. Quarterly, we evaluate ongoing effectiveness by determining whether changes in the fair value of the derivative offset, within a specified range, changes in the fair value of the hedged item. If not, we discontinue applying hedge accounting to that relationship prospectively. Fair values of derivative instruments are calculated using valuation models incorporating market-based assumptions including deposit/swap rates (for interest rate swaps), foreign exchange spot rates and foreign exchange ticks (for foreign currency forwards).

We also use derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. We account for such derivatives at market value with the resulting gains and losses reflected in our income statement. We do not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We perform assessments of our counterparty credit risk regularly, including a review of credit ratings, credit default swap rates and potential nonperformance of the counterparty. Based on our most recent assessment of our counterparty credit risk, we consider this risk to be low. In addition, we enter into derivative contracts with a variety of financial institutions that we believe are creditworthy in order to reduce our concentration of credit risk.

At September 30, 2013, derivative assets and liabilities were $2.3 million and $7.6 million, respectively. See Note 9 — Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities for additional information about our use of derivatives.

For a full description of our critical accounting policies, see Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Segments

We are a leading international forest products company primarily engaged in timberland management, the sale of real estate, and the production and sale of high-value specialty cellulose fibers. We operate in three reportable business segments: Forest Resources, Real Estate and Performance Fibers. Prior to the first quarter of 2013, the Company operated in four reportable business segments, which included Wood Products. In March 2013, the Company sold its Wood Products business and its operations are shown as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 2 — Sale of Wood Products Business for additional information. In April 2013, the Company purchased an additional 39 percent interest in Matariki Forestry Group, a joint venture (“New Zealand JV”) that owns or leases approximately 0.3 million acres of New Zealand timberlands. As a result of the acquisition, Rayonier is a 65 percent owner of the New Zealand JV and 100 percent of the results of its operations have been included within the Forest Resources segment, in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 6 — Joint Venture Investment for additional information.

Forest Resources sales include all activities which relate to the harvesting of timber. Real Estate sales include all property sales, including those designated for higher and better use (“HBU”). The assets of the Real Estate segment include HBU property held by our real estate subsidiary, TerraPointe LLC.

The Performance Fibers segment included two major product lines, cellulose specialties and absorbent materials. Beginning in the third quarter of 2013 and in conjunction with the completion of the CSE project, the Company’s Jesup mill discontinued producing absorbent materials and began producing commodity viscose during the transition to higher cellulose specialties volume. Commodity Viscose/Other includes commodity viscose and incremental off-grade.

Our remaining operations include harvesting and selling timber acquired from third parties (log trading). These operations are combined and reported in “Other Operations.” Sales between operating segments are made based on estimated fair market value, and intercompany sales, purchases and profits or losses are eliminated in consolidation.

Table of Contents

We evaluate financial performance based on the operating income of the segments. Operating income, as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, is equal to segment income (loss). Certain income (loss) items in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income are not allocated to segments. These items, which include gains (losses) from certain asset dispositions, interest income (expense), miscellaneous income (expense) and income tax (expense) benefit, are not considered by management to be part of segment operations.

In the Atlantic region, 2013 third quarter sales were comparable to 2012 but increased 14 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012. Operating income increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to prior year periods. Improved results were driven by higher prices from sustained rainfalls which limited supply, and steady demand.

The Gulf region’s sales and operating income for the 2013 periods improved over prior year primarily due to higher sawlog demand and increased volumes as a result of our Texas acquisition at the end of 2012. Results also benefited from higher non-timber income.

Northern region sales were comparable in the third quarter compared to the prior year period, while on a year-to-date basis sales increased due to higher stumpage and delivered log prices driven by stronger export and domestic demand. Operating income increased in the third quarter and year-to-date 2013 periods due to the higher prices, partially offset by increased logging and road maintenance costs.

In April 2013, we acquired an additional 39 percent ownership interest in our New Zealand JV for $140 million. As a 65 percent owner, we began consolidating 100 percent of the New Zealand JV’s results of operations in the second quarter of 2013. The 2013 higher sales and operating results for New Zealand JV reflect this increased ownership.

REAL ESTATE

Our real estate holdings are primarily in the southeastern U.S. We segregate these real estate holdings into three groups: development HBU, rural HBU and non-strategic timberlands. Our strategy is to extract maximum value from our HBU properties while selling non-strategic holdings to reinvest in more strategic properties.

Third quarter sales of $14 million were slightly higher than the prior year period, while operating income of $8 million was consistent with 2012. On a year-to-date basis, sales and operating income were $15 million and $9 million above 2012, respectively, as higher non-strategic prices and volumes more than offset lower rural prices. Third quarter and year-to-date rural prices reflect a 4,500 acre sale in which we retained timber harvest rights.

PERFORMANCE FIBERS

As a result of the start-up of the CSE project at our Jesup mill, we intend to exit the commodity absorbent materials business. In the third quarter, we began producing commodity viscose at the Jesup mill. Commodity viscose is a dissolving wood pulp used primarily in the manufacture of textiles. We plan to produce commodity viscose on the converted line until the cellulose specialties market grows enough to absorb the additional 190,000 tons of capacity.

Cellulose specialties prices improved in 2013 versus the prior year periods while volumes decreased 21 percent and 2 percent for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, due to the timing of customer orders. Absorbent materials sales decreased from the prior year periods as prices and volumes declined, reflecting weakness in that market and our transition away from this business in conjunction with the completion of the CSE project.

Operating income declined $38 million and $33 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 due to the lower cellulose specialties volumes, the planned extended shutdown at the Jesup mill and higher wood and production costs. The 2013 results also reflect a product mix shift from absorbent materials to commodity viscose as a result of the CSE project transition.

The total cost for the CSE project at our Jesup mill is $388 million. We expect to reach the full production rate of 190,000 tons of new cellulose specialties capacity in 2017/2018 based on expected cellulose specialties market annual growth of 50,000 tons. However, this timing could vary based on actual demand growth, additional capacity from competitors and market share changes. As production of cellulose specialties increases, we anticipate total sales and operating income to increase as higher prices received on the additional cellulose specialties volumes more than offset expected cost increases of approximately 11 percent for 2013 and the net 70,000 metric ton reduction in overall production capacity. For the quarter ended September 30, 2013, our cellulose specialties average sales price of $1,941 per metric ton was $1,338 above our absorbent materials average sales price per metric ton.

OTHER OPERATIONS

Sales from our New Zealand log trading business increased $11 million and $23 million in 2013 over the prior year three and nine month periods, respectively, due to increased Asian demand. Operating income increased $2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, due to higher sales and foreign currency exchange gains.

Corporate and Other Expense/Eliminations

Third quarter 2013 corporate and other operating expenses of $10 million were comparable to the prior year period. Expenses for the year-to-date period decreased $14 million from 2012, primarily due to the $16 million gain related to the consolidation of the New Zealand JV. This gain included the recognition of a $10 million deferred gain based on the original sale of our New Zealand operations to the JV in 2005 and a $6 million benefit due to the required fair market value remeasurement of our equity interest in the JV held before the purchase of the additional interest. Excluding the gain related to the consolidation of the New Zealand JV, corporate and other expenses increased $2 million due to higher legal expenses.

Interest Expense/Income and Income Tax Expense

Third quarter interest and other expenses were $6 million above the prior year third quarter primarily due to a $3 million charge on the early redemption by the noteholders of $31.5 million of our $172.5 million Senior Exchangeable Notes due in 2015. The charge represents the difference between the carrying value and the fair market value of the debt and the write off of certain debt costs due to the early redemption. Another $10 million of these Notes were redeemed in early October which will result in an additional fourth quarter charge of $1 million. Also, third quarter 2012 included a reversal of a $3 million interest accrual related

Table of Contents

to the alternative fuel mixture credit (“AFMC”) for cellulosic biofuel producer credit (“CBPC”) exchange. Year-to-date interest and other expenses were $7 million below the prior year period primarily due to lower borrowing rates and higher capitalized interest related to the CSE project.

The third quarter effective tax rate before discrete items was 19.8 percent compared to 26.8 percent in the prior year period. The year-to-date effective tax rate before discrete items was 21.3 percent compared to 26.5 percent in the prior year period. The current quarter and year-to-date decline in the effective tax rates was primarily due to proportionally higher earnings from REIT operations in 2013 and a benefit associated with the internal transfer of timberland properties. Including discrete items, the third quarter effective tax rate was 16.5 percent versus 23.2 percent in the prior year period. On a year-to-date basis, the effective tax rate was 11.1 percent compared to 21.5 percent in 2012, as the 2013 AFMC for CBPC exchange was higher than the 2012 exchange. See Note 4 — Income Taxes for additional information.

Outlook

In Forest Resources, we expect recent improved pricing to be sustained as we capitalize on local market conditions in the Southeast and benefit from strong export and domestic demand in the Northwest and in New Zealand. In Real Estate, we anticipate fourth quarter sales and earnings will be substantially above third quarter due to the timing of closings and demand for non-strategic properties. In this transition phase for Performance Fibers, the quality of cellulose specialties produced from our recently converted Jesup mill C-line has been excellent and the qualification process with customers is proceeding well. Overall, excluding the results of the Wood Products business and gain on sale, and the gain related to consolidation of our New Zealand JV, we continue to expect 2013 operating income will be slightly above 2012, and 2013 EPS will be moderately above 2012 reflecting lower income tax and interest expense.

Our full year 2013 financial guidance is subject to a number of variables and uncertainties, including those discussed under Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Forward-Looking Statements of this Form 10-Q and Item 1A — Risk Factors in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Employee Relations

On June 30, 2012, collective bargaining agreements covering approximately 700 hourly employees at our Jesup mill expired. Negotiations were successfully concluded on March 28, 2013, and the unions ratified a new agreement on April 12, 2013 that will expire on June 30, 2017. See Item 1 — Business and Item 1A — Risk Factors in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on employee relations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our operations have generally produced consistent cash flows and required limited capital resources. Short-term borrowings have helped fund cyclicality in working capital needs and long-term debt has been used to fund major acquisitions and strategic projects.

Table of Contents

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities decreased primarily due to the Company’s election to pay $70 million to exchange the AFMC for the CBPC. This resulted in a $19 million discrete tax benefit in 2013 reflecting reduced future tax payments of $89 million, including approximately $50 million realized during 2013 and $39 million expected to be realized in the first half of 2014. The tax payment was partially offset by improved results in the Forest Resources segment.

Cash Used for Investing Activities

Cash used for investing activities increased mainly due to the purchase of an additional 39 percent interest in the New Zealand JV for $140 million and higher capital expenditures including the CSE project. This spending was partially offset by net proceeds of $68 million from the sale of our Wood Products business and a change in restricted cash due to the timing of like-kind exchanges.

Cash Used for Financing Activities

Cash used for financing activities increased as dividends paid rose $23 million due to two increases in the quarterly dividend rate since June 2012. Additionally, cash provided by the issuance of common shares decreased due to lower option exercises in 2013.

Expected 2013 Expenditures

Capital expenditures in 2013 are forecasted between $155 million and $165 million, excluding strategic timberland acquisitions, the CSE project and the purchase of the additional interest in our New Zealand JV. We spent $141 million through the third quarter of 2013 on the CSE project and expect total CSE project cost to be $388 million. Annual dividend payments are expected to increase from $207 million in 2012 to $237 million in 2013 including the increase in the quarterly dividend rate from 44 cents to 49 cents per share effective with the third quarter payment.

We have no mandatory pension contributions in 2013. Cash payments for income taxes in 2013 are anticipated to be between $75 million and $80 million, excluding taxes related to the gain on the Wood Products sale. Expenditures for environmental costs related to our dispositions and discontinued operations are expected to be $8 million. See Note 13 — Liabilities for Dispositions and Discontinued Operations for further information.

Performance and Liquidity Indicators

The discussion below is presented to enhance the reader’s understanding of our operating performance, liquidity, ability to generate cash and satisfy rating agency and creditor requirements. This information includes two measures of financial results: Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization (“EBITDA”), and Adjusted Cash Available for Distribution (“Adjusted CAD”). These measures are not defined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and the discussion of EBITDA and Adjusted CAD is not intended to conflict with or change any of the GAAP disclosures described above. Management considers these measures to be important to estimate the enterprise and shareholder values of the Company as a whole and of its core segments, and for allocating capital resources. In addition, analysts, investors and creditors use these measures when analyzing our operating performance, financial condition and cash generating ability. Management uses EBITDA as a performance measure and Adjusted CAD as a liquidity measure. EBITDA is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Adjusted CAD as defined, however, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

We reconcile EBITDA to Net Income for the consolidated Company and Operating Income for the Segments, as those are the nearest GAAP measures for each. Below is a reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA for the respective periods (in millions of dollars):



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

EBITDA by segment is a critical valuation measure used by our Chief Operating Decision Maker, existing shareholders and potential shareholders to measure how the Company is performing relative to the assets under management. EBITDA by segment for the respective periods was as follows (millions of dollars):



	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013			2012			2013		2012
EBITDA by Segment
Forest Resources	$	51		$	30		$	129	$	80
Real Estate	10			9			39		26
Performance Fibers	85			116			284		308
Other Operations	—			—			2		—
Corporate and other	(9		)	(6		)	55		(16		)
EBITDA	$	137		$	149		$	509	$	398

Third quarter 2013 EBITDA decreased from 2012 due to lower Performance Fibers results, partially offset by higher Forest Resources results. The nine months ended 2013 EBITDA (Corporate and other) includes a $64 million gain on the sale of Wood Products and a $16 million gain related to the consolidation of the New Zealand JV. EBITDA was above the prior year period primarily due to these items as well as higher operating results in Forest Resources and Real Estate.

The following tables reconcile Operating Income by segment to EBITDA by segment (millions of dollars):



	Forest Resources		Real Estate		Performance Fibers		Other Operations		Corporate and Other			Total

Adjusted CAD is a non-GAAP measure of cash generated during a period which is available for dividend distribution, repurchase of the Company’s common shares, debt reduction and strategic acquisitions. We define CAD as Cash Provided by Operating Activities adjusted for capital spending, the change in committed cash, and other items which include cash provided by discontinued operations, excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation and the change in capital expenditures purchased on account. Committed cash represents outstanding checks that have been drawn on our zero balance bank accounts but have not been paid. In compliance with SEC requirements for non-GAAP measures, we reduce CAD by mandatory debt repayments which results in the measure entitled “Adjusted CAD.”

Cash used for investing activities	$	(339	)	$	(237	)
Cash (used for) provided by financing activities	$	(15	)	$	20


(a)	Capital expenditures exclude strategic capital. Strategic capital totaled $141 million for the CSE, $140 million for the New Zealand acquisition and $12 million for timberland acquisitions for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Strategic capital totaled $131 million for the CSE and $12 million for timberland acquisitions for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Adjusted CAD was lower in 2013 primarily due to a $70 million tax payment to exchange AFMC for CBPC as well as higher capital expenditures and mandatory debt repayments. Adjusted CAD generated in any period is not necessarily indicative of the amounts that may be generated in future periods.

Liquidity Facilities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we had no net activity on our $450 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company had $172 million of available borrowings under this facility at September 30, 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we borrowed an additional $200 million on our term credit agreement for general corporate purposes.

These notes are also exchangeable in the fourth quarter based upon the average stock price for the 30 trading days ending September 30, 2013. If the note holders exercise their options prior to December 31, 2013, the Company intends to repay the principal of the notes by accessing its revolving credit facility. Any excess exchange value will be settled at the option of the Company in either cash or stock of Rayonier.

In connection with our installment note, term credit agreement and credit facility, covenants must be met, including ratios based on the covenant definition of EBITDA, ratios based on consolidated funded debt compared to consolidated net worth, ratios of subsidiary debt to consolidated net tangible assets and ratios of cash flows to fixed charges. Covenants must also be met in connection with the New Zealand JV’s credit facility, including ratios of debt to forestry and land valuations and ratios of operating cash flows to financing costs. As of September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants. In addition to these financial covenants, the installment note, mortgage note, term credit agreement and revolving credit facility include customary covenants that limit the incurrence of debt and the disposition of assets, among others.

Item 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market and Other Economic Risks

We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in interest rates, commodity prices and foreign exchange rates. Our objective is to minimize the economic impact of these market risks. We use derivatives in accordance with policies and procedures approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Derivatives are managed by a senior executive committee whose responsibilities include initiating, managing and monitoring resulting exposures. We do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Cyclical pricing of commodity market paper pulp is one of the factors which influences Performance Fibers’ prices in the absorbent materials and commodity viscose product lines. Our cellulose specialty products’ prices are based on market supply and demand and are not correlated to commodity paper pulp prices. In addition, a majority of our cellulose specialty products are under long-term volume contracts that extend through 2013 to 2017.

As of September 30, 2013 we had $985 million of long-term variable rate debt which is subject to interest rate risk. At this borrowing level, a hypothetical one-percentage point increase/decrease in interest rates would result in a corresponding increase/decrease of approximately $10 million in interest payments and expense over a 12 month period. Our primary interest rate exposure on variable rate debt results from changes in LIBOR and the 90 day New Zealand Bank bill rate. The Company’s New Zealand JV uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate movements on its bank loan by swapping a portion of these borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates.The notional amounts of the outstanding interest rate swap contracts at September 30, 2013 were $185 million. The interest rate swap contracts have maturities between one and seven years.

The fair market value of our long-term fixed interest rate debt is also subject to interest rate risk. However, we intend to hold most of our debt until maturity. The estimated fair value of our fixed-rate debt at September 30, 2013 was $755 million compared to the $663 million principal amount. We use interest rates of debt with similar terms and maturities to estimate the fair value of our debt. Generally, the fair market value of fixed-rate debt will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. A hypothetical one-percentage point increase/decrease in prevailing interest rates at September 30, 2013 would result in a corresponding decrease/increase in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt of approximately $30 million.

We periodically enter into commodity forward contracts to fix some of our fuel oil, diesel and natural gas costs. The forward contracts partially mitigate the risk of a change in Performance Fibers and the New Zealand JV’s margins resulting from an increase or decrease in these energy costs. At September 30, 2013, the notional amount of our outstanding diesel contracts was 41 thousand barrels.

The functional currency of the Company’s New Zealand-based operations and New Zealand JV is the New Zealand dollar. Through these operations and our ownership in the New Zealand JV, we are exposed to foreign currency risk on cash held in foreign currencies and on foreign export sales and ocean freight payments that are predominantly denominated in U.S. dollars. To mitigate these risks, the New Zealand JV routinely enters into foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currency option contracts to hedge a portion of the New Zealand JV’s foreign exchange exposure. At September 30, 2013, the New Zealand JV had foreign currency exchange contracts with a notional amount of $32 million and foreign currency option contracts with a notional amount of $48 million outstanding.

Item 4.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Rayonier management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)), are designed with the objective of ensuring information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported or submitted within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no control evaluation can provide absolute assurance that all control exceptions and instances of fraud have been prevented or detected on a timely basis. Even systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance that their objectives are achieved.

Based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2013.

In the quarter ended September 30, 2013, based upon the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of SEC Rule 13a-15, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that would materially affect or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
